    Hello,

    By default you’ll find MySQL’s configuration file at: /etc/my.cnf

    Hi,

    Please check MySQL’s configuration file at /etc/mysql/my.cnf

    If not found then run below command to find my.cnf file
    Code:
    whereis my.cnf
    or
    find / -name my.cnf

    Hello,

    Could you verify if you are logged in via SSH as the "root" user? You can only edit the MySQL configuration with root access to the system.

    Thank you.
